10 Exact Moments Where Video Game Immersion Was Shattered

Look, we all saw this one coming, and for damn good reason. There is very little that throws you out of a sense of immersion quite like being asked for your credit card or bank details, especially in order to obtain something that isn't a necessary part of the game.
